Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Miller has a special ability to craft descriptive fast-paced prose, creating an exciting crime novel that is also an astute commentary on the state of family and marriage today.” —Charles Belfoure, New York Times bestselling author of The Paris Architect

“Offering insight into the workings of the judicial system, the FBI, and the underworld, this fast-paced and explosive novel is filled with intrigue. The three females live in terror and fight not only for their lives but for their due, unaware of the horror awaiting them from a man they once loved and who wronged them all for the sake of greed. In addition to the circumstances they face, the bombshell ending is completely unexpected.” —New York Journal of Books

“An unlikely partnership between the ex-wife and the new wife of a lawyer evolves after his mysterious death in this action-packed, suspenseful novel filled with rich characters and unpredictable turns. You will stay up late to finish it.” —Lorena Hughes, author of The Sisters of Alameda Street

“There are more twists and turns than a switchback road in Miller’s lean, mean, taut thriller that will leave you seat teetering and page flipping. It’s also a rich novel finely woven like a Persian rug with characters—especially the three women at the heart of the story—as real as the closest women in your own life. The recovery set will find much to identify with in the protagonist Lauren, whose years of sobriety help her navigate the high-stakes, high-risk, high-heart-palpitating landmine she’s stepped into. Can’t wait for the movie!” —Jamie Brickhouse, author of Dangerous When Wet: A Memoir of Booze, Sex, and My Mother

“Michele Miller has had more lives than a cat, and they’ve made her a writer of passion and substance.” —Lawrence Block, New York Times bestselling author

“Seasoned narrator Nancy Wu…narrates in a cool and controlled voice, and the characters come across as typical New Yorkers with varying accents and emotional responses…Listeners will enjoy the plot twists and high-adrenaline moments in this mystery.” —AudioFile
